My kind-hearted, smart daughter shared this with me a couple of years ago. May it be so.-Shannon VanLandingham​May God bless you with discomfort,At easy answers, half-truths,And superficial relationshipsSo that you may liveDeep within your heart.May God bless you with angerAt injustice, oppression,And exploitation of people,So that you may work forJustice, freedom and peace.May God bless you with tears,To shed for those who suffer pain,Rejection, hunger and war,So that you may reach out your handTo comfort them andTo turn their pain to joy.And may God bless youWith enough foolishnessTo believe that you canMake a difference in the world,So that you can doWhat others claim cannot be doneTo bring justice and kindnessTo all our children and the poor.Amen-Franciscan Blessing
